One more time, ___ verse, little bit louder and a little bit worse!

The backup’s backup to the initial backup donor has accepted the cycle (anyone else confused besides me?). They’re sending out contracts today, contacting my clinic (I can’t even remember their phone number off the top of my head anymore) and generally getting things started. Hopeful is probably the wrong word, but I am feeling pretty good about things – that’s a start right? Things have been busy lately, at home and work, and that’s a good thing – less time for me to marinate. I don’t feel like doing any of it, but I’m making myself get out and about as much as I can. Pretty much all I can do at this point.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD:

My dog purred last night. I’m not lying. Weirdest thing I’ve ever heard. She bunched up, arched her neck (I actually thought she was either going to puke or bark really loudly at first) and then threw her head back and let out this long, soft rumble. The closest thing to describe it is a purr. Why did she do this, you ask? Because D was sitting in the floor at the coffee table eating a steak chalupa. Once he realized she wasn’t going to vomit on him, he was a bit more willing to share. Couldn’t get her to do it again, though. We’ll have to bribe her with another chalupa….

I’ve also recently met a Pomeranian who sneezes for cheese, I shit you not.

What tricks do your pets do for food?

My manimals don’t really do anything interesting to beg for food. However, our kitten has started working with the dog to steal treats. The kitten can get on the counter, but can’t get into packages. The dog can get into packages but can’t get on the counters. So, the kitten gets up on the counter and knocks down whatever it is they have decided they want: bread, crackers, etc. The dog opens and they share the spoils. I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t catch them red handed.

One woman’s first backup’s second in command to the 3rd backup (or whatever) is another woman’s donor! This is really exciting (but I understand your hesitance with the hope). I’ll be excited for you for a while until you feel comfortable being excited for yourself.

Congrats on getting a donor! What a long trip, but I’m so glad that you’ve made it to the first base camp.

As for tricks – we have these cat treats that we call Kitty Crack because the Bad One goes nuts for them. At our old house one night, my husband got out the kitty crack. The Bad One was on the dining room table, on top of a place mat. He attempted to jump from the dining room table to the counter – not a difficult jump. What he didn’t anticipate was that the place mat would slip, and he would fall short of the counter. Not only did he fall short, though, he landed in the middle a dismantled ceiling fan! He didn’t even blink and got right up on the counter for his kitty crack. He has a problem.

I just finished catching up on all the posts I’ve missed. It’s been a rough month hasn’t it? I hope with the backup of the backup of the backup signed on board, you have gotten over the donor limbo and can now finally be on your way. Seems to me like you have been in this donor limbo for years so it must feel like an eternity to you. Got everything crossed for you and hoping you have paid your dues in delays and you don’t have any more during your cycle.
